How to make Polvorones of Puerto Rico | Ladymaria51

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and powdered sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the vanilla extract and mix until combined.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, ground almonds (if using), and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, mixing until a dough forms.

Shape the dough into small balls or discs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Flatten each ball slightly with the palm of your hand.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, dust with additional powdered sugar before serving.
